Mutants walk among us. They always have. But now, the world knows. When a teenage girl's powers ignite on live television, humanity fractures. Fear spreads faster than the mutation itself. Some see evolution. Others see extinction. Professor Charles Xavier gathers the gifted—the hunted—into his school, a sanctuary disguised as normalcy. But safety is an illusion. A shadowy government agency mobilizes. Extremists on both sides sharpen their weapons. And within Xavier's walls, not everyone agrees on the path forward. Some students dream of coexistence. Others hunger for revolution. As tensions ignite and alliances splinter, a darker truth emerges: someone is orchestrating the chaos. Someone with power enough to reshape the entire mutant landscape. The X-Men must choose—fight for a world that despises them, or burn it down and build anew. The age of hiding is over. The age of reckoning has begun.
